vs
Tires Maxxis or Triangle
I ran a maxxcross on both front and rear - rear first, before I upgraded to a 16" + shinko 525. Its not a bad tire at all, and if you're looking to keep the weight down on the stock rim then I say its a good choice.
Pros: good choice, keeps weight down
Cons: not a bad tire
I run a Maxxis Aggressor on the back of my bike and I love it. A DHF up front has loads of grip but the Aggressor has similar side lugs (a little smaller but not much) so the vine still turns well. At the same time, it has smaller center lugs and having swapped a DHR for it, I can certainly tell it rolls better.
Pros: rolls better
My 2.3s were 55mm on some wide 1980s rims. I'll remount them on different rims soon and can measure then
Pros: 55mm on wide rims
My DTH 2.15 looks like about 2" exactly
Pros: looks about 2"
I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.
Pros: good for descents
Cons: slow on climbs
The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.
Pros: good choice
Cons: not great wet grip
Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.
Pros: roll great on road
Cons: null
They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.
Pros: roll really well
Cons: iffy cornering, soft ground
I had Triangles on a pickup and they were decent.
Pros: decent quality
I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.
Pros: decent ride quality
Cons: many flats
